Network Vision/LTE - Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands Market

[themuffinman]

So anyway, I past through San Juan again today and again I was able to connect to lte at the airport just fine. One thing that did have me puzzled was the fact that my evo was able to connect and maintain the lowest of the lowest lte signal with no toggling at all. Anyway, I already have lte in atlanta now all I need is lte in St.Thomas and I will be one happy sprint customer.

ANYBODY KNOWS IF SPRINT WILL USE ALCATEL LUCENT LIGHT RADIO IN PUERTO RICO? WE ALREADY KNOW SAMSUNG IS RUNNING THE SHOW HERE BUT....WOULD BE GOOD FOR MALLS , DOWNTOWN.......

 

Samsung has their own similar product. Deployment of small cells will not begin until late 2013/2014. I imagine they will include PR as well, but we have very little info about Sprint's Small Cell plans at this time. Sprint is still in the early planning stage.

 

Also, please do not use ALL CAPS. Thanks.

Can somebody tell me if there are any LTE sites in Ponce. I'm dying to know.

 

Saw some LTE in Ponce by the 132 Road to the "Tercera /iglesia Bautista ", it is mapped in Sensorly.

To find out just go to your speed test app, go to results and just tap on that individual test. It will then show you some more details about that test including whether you are on ehrpd or not

The list of completed nv sites means that they are functional or it means that they have the equipment installed?

 

I ask because there is one completed site near work that I always used to be connected there (if netmonitor is correct) but now it wont connect.

The same is happening in my apt.

Only saw it in the sensorly map. I'm not from Ponce. But is somebody from Ponce and can do a speedtest will be great!!

If it shows up on the completed sites map, it means the work is done at the site and Sprint has inspected and accepted it. In most instances the improvements are live at that time, but occasionally they are not. In most instances when they are not live right away, it is usually only an issue for a few weeks at the most.

Seems like the Ponce guy that is mapping the LTE study at La Catolica, now sensorly show LTE around campus LOL

If allot of these sites don't have the back haul it won't matter what improvements were done. Time will tell but I'm not convinced that all sites will get lte and or back haul.

Don't know why are so low you're hopes on NV, probably there problems in you're area, i've seen a lot of changes in west area from before and after NV sites were on, improved 3g speed from San German to Aguadilla (not Mayaguez), and after tasting a bit of LTE, my hopes on Sprint Network can't be higher.

They all will, it's just a matter of when

 

But they will not send away crews that are here doing NV conversions if backhaul at a site is not ready. They will convert the site anyway and connect backhaul and turn on LTE later when they become available. They may be crossing a threshold that most of the sites that have backhaul upgrades are now converted. I'm not certain though.

The bottom line here is that we are all just speculating. I suspect there are some lurkers that do know the inside story but they're obviously going to keep quiet.

Yes it was me. I managed to pick up LTE from Carr 132 through all Avenida las Americas and on the west side of the campus. However i did notice some inconsistency between speeds. I got from 14 mbps to 6 mbps and even .09 mbps on LTE. I also had a ridiculous result of 6.30 mps download and over 31+ mbps upload. I'll post the results later today when i get back home.

Robert check your inbox..... I PM'd you

I notice that also in Hatillo, when down results show less than 5mbps the upload where crazy fast, the needle rev up like rpm's in a racer car. Don't know if is a bug of the speedtest app.

Yahoooo!!! Mapping Yabucoa in sensorly, strong signal almost all the town, including rural areas; averaging 12 mbps. And more.
